Israel applying sovereignty to the West Bank is too risky and carries too few tangible benefits.
West Bank annexation is a classic example of a maneuver that carries enormous risks with few, if any, rewards. The argument in favor of annexing the West Bank is an appeal to a powerful and emotional, but ultimately symbolic, victory. In doing so, however, Israel will create a host of tangible, real-world problems that will undermine the supposed benefits that annexing the West Bank would convey.
First and foremost, West Bank annexation will create a bevy of security challenges for Israel that do not currently plague it.
This situation becomes exponentially more complicated if Israel annexes what the Oslo Accords dubbed"Area C," which is the most popular annexation plan in Israeli circles and is championed by, among others, current Israeli Defense Minister Naftali Bennett. Area C, which is 60% of the West Bank, contains within it 169 islands of Areas A and B that are under the administration of the Palestinian Authority.
